Description
Photograph of Power House No.2 as it looked before the St. Francis Dam disaster of March 12, 1928, ca.1926. A tall stone building sits in the center at the bottom of a hill. Long rectangular windows cover the façade while two pipes extend out of the back of the building and up the hillside. The hill is covered in small shrubs while the ground contains three large trees. A lightly colored picket fence runs in front of the building while a darkly colored car is visible to the left of the building.
